Last Days of the Republic: Leftist Policies Could Push America to Its Breaking Point
The Daily Signal ^ | May 13, 2022 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 05/14/2022 8:34:25 AM PDT by Tolerance Sucks Rocks

Americans are now entering uncharted, revolutionary territory. They may witness things over the next five months that once would have seemed unimaginable.

Until the Ukrainian conflict, we had never witnessed a major land war inside Europe directly involving a nuclear power.

In desperation, Russia’s impaired and unhinged leader, Russian President Vladimir Putin, now talks trash about the likelihood of nuclear war.

A 79-year-old President Joe Biden bellows back that his war-losing nuclear adversary is a murderer, a war criminal, and a butcher who should be removed from power.

After a year of politicizing the U.S. military and its self-induced catastrophe in Afghanistan, America has lost deterrence abroad. China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia are conniving how best to exploit this rare window of global military opportunity.

The traditional bedrocks of the American system—a stable economy, energy independence, vast surpluses of food, hallowed universities, a professional judiciary, law enforcement, and a credible criminal justice system—are dissolving.

Gas and diesel prices are hitting historic levels. Inflation is at a 40-year high. New cars and homes are unaffordable. The necessary remedy of high interest and tight money will be almost as bad as the disease of hyperinflation.

There is no southern border.

Expect over 1 million foreign nationals to swarm this summer into the United States without audit, COVID-19 testing, or vaccination. None will have any worry of consequences for breaking U.S. immigration law.

Police are underfunded and increasingly defunded. District attorneys deliberately release violent criminals without charges. (Literally 10,000 people witnessed a deranged man with a knife attack comedian Dave Chappelle on stage at the Hollywood Bowl last week, and the Los Angeles County district attorney refused to press felony charges.) Murder and assault are spiraling. Carjacking and smash-and-grab thefts are now normal big-city events.

Currently teetering. Possibly a Guam like capsizing soon.

And that is their intention. They have made a lot of progress toward their goal in destroying the once-great USA.

We need the Great Maga King to come back and reverse the damage.

Our republic suffered a fatal blow when SCOTUS refused to do their job and rule on the plain meaning of Natural Born Citizen in Berg vs. Obama. They officially ushered in the oligarchy & ochlocracy. Ever since then we’ve been seeing the muscle spasms of our dying republic.

When you read the litany of Democrat crimes against America, a large part of it screams, they sold out to China and the drug cartels.

Almost their whole agenda is geared to assist the drug cartels.

Open border, defund police, allow theft, free drug use centers and paraphernalia, eliminate drug laws, poverty, release criminals, terrible education.

The list goes on and on it’s a drug cartel playground.

This will not end well. You can’t sew hatred like the left has, for decades, and not have violence as a result. It’s sad, it’s ugly, and it’s fully in the hands of those on the left who vilify anyone who doesn’t regurgitate what they want them to regurgitate.

We have become a shell of what America once was and was supposed to be. The ‘Shining City on a Hill’ has become a crumbling out of date mall in which whatever stores are still open are being looted.

Exactly correct.

Maybe if VDH had devoted his ginormous intellect into exposing the fraudulent US elections that started this…

Now, he has nothing left but baby-names for Russia’s Putin and complaints about a US President who shouldn’t be one.

I would suggest to the esteemed doctor, that Ukraine likely would be going the way it is, whether Putin was in charge, or not. The moment that it became clear that the US Presidency had been stolen and that the criminal activities run in Ukraine and China under the cover of the magic negro’s administration were not going to be stopped, I suspect Ukraine’s fate was sealed.

It’s called complete devolution. The ultimate end of Cloward-Piven. Leftists’ rabid insistence on the right to murder unborn souls juxtaposed against an intentional effort by government to deny formula for American babies so that it could stockpile it for new entering voters and their ‘migrant’ babies at our southern border.

Couple that with an entire administration policy (a pogrom, really) against conservatives, MAGAites or any detractors where leftist PoC Molotov Cocktail bombers get reduced Federal Prosecutor punishment recommendations and January 6 protestors are still in DC’s Abu Ghraib Gulag like they are 9/11 terrorists at GITMO.....

I think I’m gonna start calling it “America! Shitshow 2022”

We’ll see what happens in November but we’d all best be planning on getting everything we have out to vote and also keep them from cheating. Or else we are undone.

The left wing cancer can only be resolved by blood in the streets and Left wing graves.

America is no longer a nation of laws but a nation of lawyers that treat the law with disdain.

Well said. Most politicians are lawyers.

It's not just the 'Ratz! A Republican involved with the drug trade is called a RINO.

There is no doubt that several of our last Presidents, from both parties, are involved in the global drug and kiddie trade.

Most politicians are sociopaths, many are psychopaths.

The fact that most are also lawyers speaks volumes.

I hope you’re wrong.

Really hope so.
